Sundown Gordon Lightfoot
Lyrics And Acoustic Demo Tutorial

Below you'll find the Sundown Gordon Lightfoot Lyrics and my full version acoustic demo.

This song was written about his then girlfriend Cathy Smith, who was linked to the John Belushi death. Lightfoot had a #1 hit with this song in 1974 and said Smith was the one woman in his life who truly hurt him.

--- Start Of Sundown Lyrics ---

I can see her lyin back in her satin dress
In a room where ya do what ya dont confess
Sundown ya better take care if I find you been creepin round my back stairs
Sundown ya better take care if I find you been creepin round my back stairs

Shes been lookin like a queen in a sailors dream
And she dont always say what she really means
Sometimes I think its a shame when I get feelin better when Im feelin no pain
Sometimes I think its a shame when I get feelin better when Im feelin no pain

I can picture every move that a man could make
Getting lost in her lovin is your first mistake
Sundown ya better take care if I find you been creepin round my back stairs

BREAK

I can see her lookin fast in her faded jeans
Shes a hard lovin woman, got me feelin mean
Sometimes I think its a shame when I get feelin better when Im feelin no pain
Sundown ya better take care if I find you been creepin round my back stairs
Sundown ya better take care if I find you been creepin round my back stairs
Sometimes I think its a sin when I feel like Im winnin when Im losin again
